VoIP For Dummies explains in simple terms all the current options for converging a network, however big or small, to operate with VoIP. VoIP network services bypass the local exchange carrier-owned networks and therefore save customers and companies huge local exchange carrier fees and monthly local exchange access charges.

Therefore, many types of corporate executives, managers, staff employees both technical and non-technical are going to want to understand in simple terms what VoIP is so they can determine how it is going to impact them and so that they can make intelligent decisions regarding the implementation of VoIP. In addition, consumers at home will want to know about VoIP especially those that have businesses in their homes that can make use of VoIP.

The focus of VoIP For Dummies is to make the full inventory of VoIP options available to the corporate and consumer readership so that they can make intelligent decisions about how to achieve network services integration with more bandwidth, better quality of service, significantly lower costs (i.e. 35% - 60%) and in most cases only one monthly bill for it all from one single network carrier services provider. Series features: VoIP For Dummies reflects the hand-holding, clear explanations, and light humor that are hallmarks of the For Dummies style.
